After the soldiers left, Lily turned around and asked the guard who had been on standby beside her: "Is Wahid back?"
The guard shook his head: "Master Wahid has not returned yet. And he has not contacted us."
Lily subconsciously stroked the ring on her finger.
It was her engagement ring to Wahid.
The guard next to him said, "Don't worry, branch chief. Mr. Wahid is so powerful that the so-called salvation team is only at the fourth ring at most. They can't do anything to him. Maybe he killed the salvation team and went directly to the headquarters to claim credit."
Lily shook her head. “No, Wahid wouldn’t do that. There must be a reason why he didn’t come back.”
At this time, Crazy John came out of the underground palace entrance and shouted to Lily: "Why did you order the killing of those lizardmen? They are a perfect breeding ground! We have achieved a lot of results with these cold-blooded animals!"
Lily: "Something may have happened to Wahid! There is also an elite team in trouble! The rescue team may be stronger than we thought. Our branch does not have any equipment to fight against strong enemies. Our mission is just to capture the seedbed!"
Crazy John sneered: "Didn't Wahid say he wanted to give the Savior Team a little surprise? If he had just stayed dormant, the Savior Team might have slipped past us!"
Lily: "What if they visit the Lizardman village and get information from them? The report says that the rescue team has a Drow Elf Rogue who is almost the best Rogue, and the captain is even wiser and almost like a demon. Can you guarantee that they won't find us?"
Crazy John: "These are just hypotheticals. Who knows if the situation will develop in this way?"
Lily continued, "Also, the report from headquarters said that the captain of the rescue team has an unusual interest in ruins. Whenever he arrives in a new area, he will explore the area's ruins! Look around us, look at our feet!"
Crazy John actually turned his head and looked around.
Within the field of vision, there were towers and statues that had been built an unknown amount of time ago. There were also heads of statues that had fallen off due to disrepair.
Ancient automated golems moved within view, fighting in vain against nature's encroachment on the ruins.
Crazy John: "I can't refute your statement, but maybe we can hide and see if the guy who solved the ancient puzzles of Dale Territory and Minos can solve our little secret underground."
Lily: "No matter if he can solve it or not, we are leaving, and all he will be left with are those rotting lizardmen corpses underground."
Crazy John chuckled and said, "Just now you were pretending to be worried about Wahid, but you threw him away faster than anyone else. After so many years of friendship, you can't wait for even one more day."
Lily gritted her teeth and said, "I am the branch director! I am responsible for the branch! If it were Wahid, he would make the same choice!"
Crazy John continued to tease, "I don't think so. How could he bear to abandon his 'little sweetheart'? Besides, the intelligence from headquarters said that the captain of the Savior Team is unusually attractive to aliens. If Wahid abandons you, he might have to face you who has joined the Savior Team after a while!"
Lily raised her hand: "Do you want to try my finger of death?"
"Just give it a try. How can you be sure that I don't have any equipment that can prevent instant death?" Crazy John paused and said, "I have received a reward from the leader. Guess if there is a headband like Erwin's in the reward?"
Lily: "I'm not blind, you're not wearing a headband!"
"Maybe I covered it with my wig." Mad John said with a grin.
Lily gritted her teeth.
Suddenly, the alert cult ranger shouted: "In the air! A dragon! Uh, it might be a dragon!"
"No possible! Be more precise!" Lily turned her head and yelled.
Ranger: "Look for yourself! That dragon is... a strange one!"
Lily turned around and looked in the direction the ranger pointed. Although her eyesight was not as good as the ranger's, she could still see something strange in the sky.
It looks like a dragon, but behind it there is a - a turtle shell?! (The projection of the dragon saddle made by the dwarf does look like a turtle shell)
But this did not stop Lily from giving the order: "Prepare for battle! Tear up the protective acid scroll!"
These scrolls were recently delivered from the cult headquarters. They are countermeasures against the salvation teams. Basically every team is equipped with these things.
The servants didn’t, but the servants were all pre-treated “seedling beds”, so if they died, they died.
After Lily gave the order, the captain of each team took out a scroll, and the next moment, all the team members were shrouded in soft light.
Just at this moment the dragon began to dive.
Lily: "The breath is coming!"
As soon as he finished speaking, green acid fell from the sky.
However, the breath was aimed at the "handyman" who was moving equipment.
The strong acid instantly melted the unprotected servants, and in the process burned the slings hanging from the airship and the ropes that secured the airship.
Lily: "They're targeting the airship!"
As she spoke she saw someone leap from the dragon towards the airship.
Lily: "What the hell? You want to seize the airship by yourself? There is an elite team from headquarters on it!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw something even more unbelievable: the dragon raised its hand and threw the breakfast in its hand into the window of the airship.
Lily:? ? ?
**
On the airship, an elite team from the cult headquarters surrounded the two people who had just boarded the ship.
All members of the cult headquarters team were equipped with the same crossbows as the Lizardman village sentinels, and now all six crossbows were aimed at the boarders.
"Surrender!" the squad leader roared.
The drow smiled and said, "I refuse."
The crossbow opened fire immediately, but Zhuo Er dodged the incoming crossbow arrows with gorgeous movements like juggling.
And the other lizardman drew his own strange weapon: what looked like two wooden sticks connected by a chain.
The crossbowman opened fire at him, but the Lizardman swung the strange weapon up, and after a series of whistling, dance-like movements, the free-swinging end of the strange weapon caught the Lizardman's armpit.
At the same time, the lizard man stretched out his other hand and made a standing palm pose.
All the crossbow arrows fell down at this time, forming a semicircle around the lizardman's feet.
Then the lizard man's palm turned ninety degrees and his fingers bent several times in succession.
The lizard man said nothing, but his meaning was clear enough.
The archers threw away their empty crossbows, drew out daggers and other weapons, and rushed forward shouting and killing.
The Lizardman let out a strange cry of "Oh his!" and launched a sweeping attack with the weapon in his hand. The speed was so fast that the experienced cult team had no time to dodge, and several people were hit immediately.
The lizardman continued to dance with the strange weapon, constantly changing hands.
After every strange cry, a cult thug would fall to the ground seriously injured.
Ten seconds! Just ten seconds later, the last thug was kicked by the lizard man and fell against the wall of the airship. His butt broke through the wooden wall and he became a decoration embedded in the wall.
The Lizardman, who no longer had any enemies, danced a few more moves before stopping.
The drow was shocked: "Where's my share? Leave some for me."
Chapter 166 Silly and Sweet Riding
After sending two elite assault troops to attack the airship, Wang Bian's dragon flew around the ruins.
Nini kept shooting arrows at the ground. Every time an arrow flew away with a sound of breaking through the air, someone would fall down on the ground, covering some part of his body.
Wang observed for a while, and judged: "Maybe the arrows shot from high places have too much penetration, and the protective arrows will not be effective."
Elizabeth exclaimed, "I was wondering why the enemy didn't use protection against arrows, but did they?"
Wang: "Of course, but they didn't expect the arrow to come from a height of several hundred meters."
As Nini was speaking, she suddenly stopped.
Elizabeth: “What’s wrong?”
Nini: "They started to form a shield formation."
The king looked at the pieces of turtle shells below and suddenly smiled evilly - this is how a dragon should smile evilly.
He said, "Tear up the scroll! There are plenty of fireballs. Besides, it's easier to aim when firing fireballs from the sky. There's no obstruction."
Nini immediately took out the dimensional bag that was assigned to her, took out the scroll, and tore it.
The next moment, a fireball as big as a washbasin shot toward the ground, hitting the center of the turtle shell, and an orange-yellow "vegetable" exploded with a "duang".
On the other side of the dragon saddle, Flint cursed: "Carlis Newman's horns! I can't see the ground! Who designed this hanging basket like this? Oh shit, it's that bastard Old John! He deliberately made things difficult for me!"
While the dwarf was making noise, Nini continued to work hard. She could tear the scroll much faster than shooting an arrow.
Fireballs continued to hit the ground, and the shields that were blown away looked like water splashed by stones falling into the water. Some of them even flew to the height where the king was hovering for some unknown reason.
Elizabeth looked at the ground and asked, "Should I do something too? Should I tear up the scroll too?"
The dragon turned around and said, "Don't do that! If you tear the scroll apart in your own hands, we will have to remove you from the saddle first before we can revive you."
Elizabeth pouted. "I'm a warlock after all, so using magic items shouldn't be a problem for me."
Wang: "If you really have nothing to do, just fire the scorching ray. There are some enemies down there wearing shiny armor, so just shoot at the reflective objects."
Elizabeth was shocked: "Okay~"
**
Lily was shocked. What the hell was this?
They were clearly prepared to protect themselves against strong acid, but the dragon only sprayed the slave workers operating under the airship to death with its first spray, and then stopped spraying again.
Instead, fireballs were cast down on the dragon's head, as if an entire company of mages were casting spells on the dragon's back.
Originally, the peripheral members under Lily were well-trained, but now they were blown up by the fireball and unable to take care of themselves. They can't do anything except running around.
The key is that there is nowhere to hide. The dragon has been circling. I finally hide behind a stone statue, but the dragon circles over and shoots another fireball.
**
Elizabeth finally found a point that reflected the sunlight. Without saying a word, she raised her hand and shot a ray of light down.
Then she was in a dilemma: "How can I tell whether the ray hit the target or not?"
Dragon: "If he doesn't run away, then he was hit."
Elizabeth: "So I have to choose to fight on the run?"
"It doesn't matter," the dragon said, "Those who are running are definitely members of the Order, those who are standing still are well-trained members of the Order, and those who are dying will fall."
Elizabeth: "I can't see whether they are falling or standing!"
"Then shoot while running!"
